This bill mandates that licensed child care centers in New Jersey provide a 60-day notice to parents or legal guardians regarding any changes in tuition rates. The notice must be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, or by receipted first-class mail to the last known address of the parent or guardian, or delivered in person by a staff member. Additionally, the notice must be posted on the center's website and displayed prominently within the center.
The requirements outlined in this bill will take effect immediately and will apply to any tuition rate changes occurring on or after the first day of the third month following the date of enactment. This aims to ensure that parents and guardians are adequately informed about tuition changes well in advance.
